- Motor Function Switches: Turn motors on and off for different functions. Includes shutdown and sensor switches.
- Infeed Temperature: Controls heat for the preheat infeed fence.
- Emergency Shutdown Switch: Instantly turns off power.
- Standby Light: Shows machine status.
Panel Feeder: Moves boards through the machine using a belt system. Includes:
- Height adjustment wheel
- Dial indicator for board thickness (in millimeters; last digit is tenths)
- Top belt that runs boards across the roller table
Table: Has rollers set at a 15° angle to pull boards against the infeed fence and through stations.
Infeed Fence: Preheats the board edge before glue application. Includes a rubber wheel and sensor switch that starts tape feeding.
Glue Spindle Assembly: Applies hot glue to the board edge.
Tape Application: Applies edge banding tape to the glued edge using one mobile and one stationary roller.
End Trimmer: Cuts the leading edge of the tape flush with the board front. Activated by a sensor switch.
Flush Trimmers: Trim the top and bottom edges of the tape at the same time. Use a tracer for proper trim and have dial indicators (in millimeters) for tape thickness.
Buffing Wheels: Smooth and polish the tape edges.
Electrical Junction Box: Located at the back; connects 220V single-phase power.
Air Supply Regulator: Needs 6 SCFM of air at 100 psi.
Electrical Shut-Off Switch: Main power switch.
